Here below is a cool short I found via Rue Morgue. Behold, Fire City: King of Miseries.

I love short films that, in only a few moments, can insinuate a world larger than what is shown. I also feel that the mix of practical and digital effects is well executed here. I hope there are more of these coming in the future from director Tom Woodruff Jr.

Turning to the gaming side of things, here's some game play from a early build of something called Routine.

At first glance, Routine just looks like a mash-up of Dead Space, Portal & Half Life, but there are two things about this that excite me. First, the sound in this video is spectacular, and secondly, this will apparently support Oculus VR, something that I have grown increasingly excited about over the last few months. Planetary tours and dogfight simulators are one thing, but this? Well, this is the dream, folks.
